Darren,
There is another event coming soon that is much closer to you.
http://www.triplecanopyranch.com/
December 11th. Trucks Gone Wild will be there too. ?

A friend has been and said it is nice with pretty setting for camping. Not sure about the pop-up, maybe tents only?

Franko should know about the wheeling type. Triple canopy is attached to River Ranch property.

So far, I am planning to go.

Got the axle u-joint replaced last night. Upgraded to a tougher one. Rear axle bearing replaced. I should be ready to go this weekend. Now that my entire family enjoys the mud, I can plan for more events. Going to need a second job soon though.

I will post pictures of the mayhem and carnage. Dirty bikinis too.

Not sure. I talked to someone that went on Halloween. They said there were lots of trails, but did not know if some were new, as they had never been before.

A Jeep was my savior, I admit.
A background check should be run on BPPIX. Thanks for all the photos and entertainment this weekend Bill.

I didn't see any other EB's this weekend. Kind of disappointed.

Franko, I know why I didn't come visit you in the Gouper Hole Memorial Day. Too deep. My son Ian thinks the tide came in since we made it through earlier in the day.

There are no new trails since Mem. Day. The trails are fun though. Nothing like Holopaw. Can't wait for Corbitt.

I made it through the entrance in the morning, but it seemed to be deeper in the afternoon. My front end was just coming up the hill, when it stopped on me. I was driving very slow, maybe just touching the throttle as I was coming out. I will be checking motor mounts tonight just in case they are part of the culprit.
Expensive fix, but I am going to prevent it from happening again. My mounts weren't so good.

The fan was bent into the radiator and crank pulley. It took some work to get it moved enough to start the truck and drive it into my garage. Also took some spray in the carb to start it.

Must remember: Bronco is a truck not a boat.

The car wash was too cold for my thin blood. I should have at least checked it out, to see who was getting washed up.

RNYC is having a New Years Bash. Not sure if I will be making it to any of that one. This weekend turned very expensive on me fast.

The Trucks Gone Wild race was fun. Some serious H.P.

Disappointed I did not see any nudity the entire weekend.
